NGC 2141
NGC 2141 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Monoceros, approximately 80 million light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by the astronomer John Herschel in 1834. This galaxy is notable for its distinct spiral arms and bright central bar structure, which are characteristic features of barred spiral galaxies.
The galaxy is part of a larger group of galaxies known as the NGC 2141 group. Observations of NGC 2141 have provided valuable insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies, particularly in understanding the dynamics of spiral structures and the role of bars in galaxy morphology.
